Here’s an activity you or your family can do the week before Easter! Spend time each day learning about Jesus Christ by reading the scripture and filling in the name used in the verse. (You can check your answers below.) Then share one way you know Jesus loves you!

Easter is a time of remembering Jesus Christ and of celebrating His Resurrection. What is a celebration without music? The Easter music videos below will fill your mind with peace and your heart with gratitude as you think about Christ and His great sacrifice for each of us.

This Easter season, the Church is inviting the world to celebrate the life and Resurrection of Jesus Christ through its “Prince of Peace” initiative, which takes its theme from the scriptural passage Isaiah 9:6 and includes learning more about eight key principles of peace.

Instructions: Mount these two pages on heavy paper, then cut out the picture pages on the broken lines. Punch holes along the tops of the pages as marked. Place the picture pages on top of each other with the title page on the top. Line up the holes, and tie your book together with ribbon or yarn.

My kids love Easter. And why wouldn’t they? It’s the latest in the line of commercialized holidays focused on chocolates, treats, and trinkets. Knowing that Easter is not about bunnies, baskets, and egg hunts, and wanting my kids to understand the same, I looked online for ideas to focus the holiday more on Jesus Christ. A few years ago we started making these resurrection rolls on Easter Sunday. I found that it was a fun way to teach my kids about the significance of the Savior’s sacrifice and the miracle of His Resurrection. And the kids look forward to it every year.
